AI Cyber Alliance Austin: Agents Hunting Agents: Open Source + AI approaches

​Please note this event was previously set for CGCS on Tuesday November 10th but it is now taking place on November 18th. The format will be a workshop instead of the usual presentations. The AI Alliance will be hosting an event in the main area so we will use one of the labs. The room limit will be 30 participants so please only RSVP if you will attend.


Join the AI Cyber Alliance for an evening of networking, hands-on learning, and community building at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.

​Whether you are building AI-defended infrastructure, auditing LLM vulnerabilities, or scaling secure AI systems, this event brings together Austin's tech community to gain practical skills and work through real-world security challenges together.
